On 2 October 1187, Jerusalem surrendered to Saladin. Comparing the events of 1099 and 1187, ASH explores the history of the Holy City beyond the logic of religious victory: Jerusalem as a sacred place for Jews, Christians and Muslims, and as a call to knowledge, justice and peace.
Progress has not ended injustice. Beginning with Micah 6:8, this study considers war, human responsibility, and three inseparable demands: justice, mercy, and humility before GOD.
Exodus 20 states that the iniquity of the fathers may reach the third and fourth generation, while Ezekiel 18 declares that a child shall not bear the iniquity of the father. Is this a contradiction? Only apparently. Scripture distinguishes between the consequences of sin, which may pass through generations, and personal moral responsibility before GOD. Understanding this distinction shows why context, language, and the Law are essential for interpreting the Bible correctly.
Al-Aʿrāf, “The Heights,” is the seventh surah of the Quran. Through the account of Adam and Iblīs, the missions of Noah, Hūd, Ṣāliḥ, Lot, Shuʿayb, and Moses, and the eschatological scene of the Heights, the surah calls humanity to faithfulness toward GOD, moral responsibility, and attentiveness to revelation.
The Apocalypse of Adam presents the final revelations of the primordial father to his son Seth. Through visions, prophecies, and secret teachings, the work reinterprets the story of Adam and Eve in the light of a higher knowledge, contrasting the transcendent God with the powers governing the world and announcing the preservation of a spiritual lineage.
1 & 2 Chronicles presents the original Hebrew text with Italian and English translations for comparative interlinear study of Scripture. The Hebrew text stands at the heart of biblical transmission and preserves a foundational witness for Judaism and the later Abrahamic traditions.
